Bernard Bisson –
I recently acquired an Iaito Kochou for my practice in the Dojo of Iaido, this is my third Skyjiro product, I only have good words for this ultra fast and accurate Iaito. A superb weapon with a cutting sound more that differs from the blades made of Duralumin (Zinc, Aluminium) It’s more incisive. A high level product, I own several Shinkens and Iaitos and those of Skijiro can easily compete with two times more expensive products. Thanks to Danny N. for valuable tips.

J’ai récemment acquis un Iaito Kochou pour ma pratique au Dojo du Iaido, C’est mon troisième produits Skyjiro, Je n’ai que des bons mots pour ce Iaito ultra rapide et précis. Une superbe arme avec un son de coupe qui se distingue des lames en Duralumin (Zinc, Aluminium) plus incisif. Un produit de haut niveau, je possède plusieurs Shinkens et Iaitos et ceux de Skijiro peuvent facilement se mesurer à des produits deux fois plus chers.
Merci à Danny N. pour les précieux conseils.
